Emma knew she was pregnant. Since that home pregnancy test turned positive, she could hardly sleep. It seemed that everything in her life was telling her that a baby would get in the way of college, career, and relationships. Creepily, she even started seeing ads on her phone for online abortionists!
Having recently moved to the area and now living with extended family, Emma felt pressure not to burden them any more than she needed to. She worried what they would think of her pregnancy, wondering to herself, “Maybe abortion is the best option?”
While searching pregnancy symptoms and options, Emma found CompassCare’s TeleCare service. She clicked to talk with a nurse, and, less than 24 seconds later, a CompassCare nurse started chatting with her.
“I’m pregnant. I’m not sure what I want to do… Can you help?” Emma texted. With the same level of compassion as if she were in one of CompassCare’s medical offices, Emma’s nurse spoke with her online, answering all her questions.
There are three questions a woman needs to have answered before making a decision about her pregnancy. 1) Am I really pregnant? 2) How far along am I? and 3) Do I have an STD? Emma’s nurse explained that these are the kinds of questions that require in-person medical diagnostics. Emma eagerly accepted the first available appointment at her local CompassCare medical office.
The next morning, Emma was welcomed to CompassCare by a friendly receptionist. It wasn’t long before she was in the exam room, looking at an ultrasound screen, revealing a baby several weeks old already. Emma’s eyes dropped, clearly conflicted. She shared with her nurse that she needs more time to think.
Two months went by without a word from Emma. Her nurse reached out on multiple occasions, but never got a response. “Maybe she had the abortion…” her nurse thought sadly to herself after another unsuccessful contact attempt.
One happy day, Emma appeared in the CompassCare waiting room with her friend, Laura. Laura was ecstatic to see the ultrasound! “Emma! This is amazing!” She cried seeing the ultrasound of Emma’s now 20-week-old baby. But Emma was quiet.
The nurse kindly asked Laura to step into the waiting room while she and Emma concluded the appointment.
In the privacy of CompassCare’s exam room, Emma struggled through her thoughts and feelings. Emma told her nurse that she knew she could get a late-term abortion in New York. She mulled the pros of motherhood, clearly trying to shut out the noise of the culture. Then, suddenly, something changed in Emma’s demeanor. Sitting up straighter, she said, “You know… I might have regrets about an abortion. But, Laura’s right. I’ll never regret having a baby.”
Just $47 provided Emma with access to the TeleCare platform, allowing her to get connected to the medical care she needed. It costs just $570 to provide ethical medical care from TeleCare through diagnostics and beyond, valued at approximately $1,300, to help one woman and save her baby.
Who saved Emma’s baby? Ultimately, it was God’s people serving through CompassCare, from the nurse chatting on TeleCare, to the receptionist, to the in-office nurse, to the donors who make it all possible. It is people like you who helped Emma say no to abortion, and yes to her baby. Will you commit to helping the next “Emma” have her baby for just $47 per month?
